A/HRC/2/7 page 22 99. The mission concludes that serious violations of both human rights and humanitarian law have been committed by Israel. Available information strongly indicates that, in many instances, Israel violated its legal obligations to distinguish between military and civilian objectives; to fully apply the principle of proportionality; and to take all feasible precautions to minimize injury to civilians and damage to civilian objects. 100. In many instances, Hezbollah violated the applicable principles of humanitarian law, in some cases by targeting the civilian population in northern Israel and in others by disregarding the principle of distinction. 101. Violations of international human rights and humanitarian law caused many deaths and injuries, displaced enormous numbers of persons, resulted in the large-scale destruction of homes and infrastructure including medical facilities, and severely interrupted health-related services. The civilian population of southern Lebanon, both those who have now returned and those still unable to return, continue to suffer as a result of the large-scale destruction and the acute danger still posed by unexploded ordnance. 102. Future rehabilitation, rebuilding and reconstruction activities must pay particular attention to the most vulnerable and marginalized groups within both countries. They suffered disproportionately during the conflict and their needs and rights are still not adequately reflected in post-conflict plans. 103. The mission makes the following recommendations to the Government of Israel: (a) The Government should provide the full details of its use of cluster munitions in order to facilitate the destruction of the unexploded ordnance and to minimize civilian casualties. Despite claims that the relevant “maps” have been provided to the Lebanese authorities, the evidence indicates that the information provided has been inadequate and largely unhelpful. The Government should immediately provide comprehensive information, including the grid references of the targets, and should cooperate fully in the programme to eliminate the remaining unexploded bomblets; (b) The mission accepts that the Government has devoted considerable professional resources to vetting targets for compliance with international humanitarian law. In the absence of systematic evidence of any type, however, it is impossible to accept the validity of the claim that every target was a legitimate military objective or that the principle of distinction was respected. The mission calls upon the Government to provide, in relation to all attacks on prima facie civilian targets, a statement as to the alleged nature of the target and the anticipated collateral or incidental effects;137 (c) The Government should take appropriate measures to investigate whether equal treatment of Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel, in particular regarding compensation for damaged or destroyed property, access to free medical services and the construction of new and the upgrading of existing shelters and alarm systems, is ensured;
